Hey Scottie
Thinking about you today mate can’t believe it’s been 7 years since the unbearable became too much. Always wish some miracle intervention had happened but alas, it did not & your decision to leave was made.
Mate so many fun shifts together over the years along with the bad ones & the complete shit fights. You always had my back at a job. Somehow we always managed a laugh irrespective of how bad the job was. Seeing you off was a tough day.
Always remembered Senior Constable
You take care now
I’m sure our paths will cross again one day.
Cheers to you!

Dave Wilkinson Thank you Clare for saying so just find it hard that it really still is a taboo topic. Especially when you here management talk it up for the media but in reality they don’t give a damnLike · Reply · 5 · Yesterday at 2:36pm

Clare Heiss Exactly Dave, that’s why our family and others will continue to speak out for those that cannot – until they are honoured as they should be on the Wall, and so the Police Force acknowledge their deaths as well as their lives. #onewallforallLike · Reply · 2 · Yesterday at 2:40pmMac McGillicuddy Beautiful words Dave Wilkinson.

Today I’m writing a memorial speech for Scotty. Didn’t attend his funeral, I was too ill, I didn’t keep in touch with his family, I was too scared.
I have thought about him nearly every day since he took himself away and Saturday 23rd Nov 2024 will be the first time I have spoken openly about his involvement in my life.
My Dad John R Duggan senior sergeant 3rd class Maitland NSW was the reason Scotty joined the force, dad and mum were so proud of him. We spent so many hours in our ratbag years drinking and smoking and dreaming of what this life will bring.
His favourite songs were American Pie and Vincent and we would often sing together.
Wild horse riding adventures, camping trips, sailing races, and time spent with Kate on the farm in their early years are some of the things I will be remembering.
